Magazine Cover: Fit Kids

Creating a magazine cover is an exciting work. Nowadays, I am interested in fitness and wellness issues which is why I decided to prepare a cover of a fitness magazine for kids. I strongly believe that we, as parents and teachers, should be aware of the importance of exercise and make our children/students aware of it as well. This is one of my aims and future plans.

Since my audience is the kids I preferred to use colors on my magazine cover as much as possible in order to grab their attention. The name of the magazine is “Fit Kids” which directly indicates the content. To make the cover have a cheerful and attractive appearance I decided to use a photo of happy kids running and smiling. On the cover, I placed the titles of seven different topics: Drink water, feel better! / Never skip stretch! / What happens to your body when you eat spinach? / No need for a gym / What to eat before exercise? / What to wear during the workout? / Don’t eat candy!

I intentionally preferred very basic topics which all kids could understand easily without getting confused. Finally, the date of the issue is 14^th of May 2019 which is the due date of this assignment.

I really enjoyed this project because I have never created a magazine cover before. It was a new experience for me. I will introduce this activity to all my students as it conforms with the requirements of 21^st century. In other words, This activity would contribute to the students’ development of 4Cs.
